Substitutions 

 If you do not have flax use the same amount in additional flour.

You may cut your fat by using 1/4 c oil and 1/4 c applesauce. This works especially well with the flax, since it has an oily base.

You may use up to half of your sugar in sugar substitute such as Splenda. Don't use all substitute as regular sugar is needed for rise and browning.
